A Carnot engine having an efficiency of $\eta = \frac{1}{10}$ as heat engine is used as a refrigerator. If the work done on the system is 10 J, the amount of energy absorbed from the reservoir at lower temperature isCoefficient of performance $\beta = \frac{Q_2}{W}$, and $\beta = \frac{1-\eta}{\eta}$
$\beta = \frac{1 - \frac{1}{10}}{\frac{1}{10}} = 9$
$Q_2 = \beta W = 9\times 10 = 90$ J
